Hack CTRL for point builders chasing carbon control; Equation WPT for overhead finishers who want WPT-grade diamond power.
Two carbon-faced frames at the genuine club-player tier, now within a tenner of each other at £124 and £133, and they could not be aimed at more different players. The Bullpadel Hack CTRL is a round-shape Paquito frame with a MultiEva core and low balance, the softer end of the carbon-face market and a true rally-builder. The Nox Equation WPT is a diamond-shape WPT-tour frame with a high balance, harder feel, and an Eva Pro core that feels noticeably stiffer through the ball at contact. Buy the Hack CTRL if you build points more than you finish them, you take pride in deep returns from behind the service line, and you want a control frame that still has carbon-face response — it's also the marginally cheaper of the two now. Otherwise go for the Equation WPT if you finish overhead and you want a tournament-tested diamond; the small extra spend is neither here nor there. The Hack absorbs pace; the Equation amplifies it. Don't mix the two up at point of purchase.
